With this sort of disinfection, it's not really something to worry about. Things like this (or alcohol or bleach) are equivalent in the bacterial world to a flamethrower in the human world. Ain't no evolving going to protect you from that!
So if I have a server with a dual-core processor, I have to pay twice the price for Windows? With SQL Server or something else, you can limit it to only run on one processor, but not Windows.
Airlines have always been more high profile though. We're always getting front page news about plane crashes, even if they're in remote countries. Boats sinking or trains crashing usually don't get much coverage though, unless they happen in North America.
Besides, if those hijackers had taken over a subway car, they probably couldn't have knocked down the WTC!

I don't wanna go on a rant here but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowolf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first Battle of Antetum. I mean when a neo-conservative defenstrates it's like Raskalnakov filibuster dioxymonohydrostinate.

Does the average user really need "a powerful command shell," "up to 9 desktops," or "a powerful FTP client"?
Yes, I might want some of those things, you might want some of them, but the average user? I don't think so. Ask your parents or your manager at work when the last time they uploaded a file via FTP was. Or if they've ever needed 9 desktops. Or the ability to do real shell scripting and set up a cron job.
Next time you're in a hotel, take a look at your door. Do you see any wires? All that's in those things is 4 AA batteries and a clock. The master device that plugs in to them to set time or override the lock has like 5 buttons on it. There is no advanced functionality there at all.
This is all based on the one system I'm familiar with, a 5 year old VingCard system. Other systems might have networking or data storage abilities, but thinking about the hassle of wiring, etc, it seems really unlikely.
Too bad nobody gets recognition for "FIRST MOD" on an article. It took about 30 seconds to get modded offtopic!
On an on-topic note, I managed to download and run this thing before the/. hordes got to it. After ignoring Sun's "We strongly recommend you do not install this software" warning (it's unsigned I think) it seems at first glance to be just another Outlook Express-clone. Built in support for PGP, which is good for the geek in all of us. Not bad HTML support, graphics seemed to get cut up as I scrolled the message though. Probably a Java problem. If I had a couple of different operating systems, I'd love to stick it on a flash drive and have my mail in any OS.
Of course, this is all irrelevant to me, because I'm forced to use Outlook at work!
I recently went on holiday, and usually I take 5 or 6 books for a 2 week period, and thats rarely enough. This way I was able to take 200 or 300 books, and save on my airline baggage allowance.
I hope this new interface is optional. Part of the reason I've been using Yahoo Mail for so long was BECAUSE of its very simple and straightforward interface. Taking that away removes yet another reason to stay with them instead of finally letting go.
I agree. If only they'd made it with that new 'AJAX' technology instead of DHTML...
You can send in an application for "...a method of wiping your arse comprising the step of utilizing paper in a back and forth rubbing motion" and that application would also be published.
We'll let the lawyers decide if that infringes on my uni-directional method, patented in 1994.
Just curious -- not attacking or anything -- but why HTML 4 as opposed to XHTML 1 Strict? Is it because of the content type issues with a certain browser, strict XML compliance was too difficult, or simply that only purists ever seem to care?;-)
I'd go with the last one, because XHTML 1.0 is "A Reformulation of HTML 4 in XML 1.0" Same elements, same attributes, almost the same syntax. The only big difference is that open elements have to be closed. For example, <br> becomes <br/>; this is a bit of a hack, but that's another story. The famed Appendix C has a complete list of compatibility guidelines.

Since we're generalizing here, you wouldn't by any chance be American, would you? Isolationism is alive and well in the homes of America as well as the White House!
The Vancouver Police Department looks for degrees when hiring. They don't care what kind of degree; you could have gotten a BA and majored in modern dance. All they want to see is that you have certain character traits, are willing to commit to a goal, want to better your knowledge, etc.
Like you say, the same goes for certifications in a lot of cases; they show that a person has certain skills and traits that put that person on the list before someone without them.

All of these were possible without maps.
Hey, how do you think they got to those train stations?

Fox News? You don't say.
Is it anything like GTA's "hot coffee?"

Wow, just the same as Canada:
1.18 (Canadian dollars per litre) = 3.76785006 U.S. dollars per US gallon
Of course, I used to live in Ireland, so I'm not feeling so bad about it:
1.11 (Euros per litre) = 5.26234321 U.S. dollars per US gallon
So this guy generalizes about other countries and he's insightful. I generalize about Americans and it's flamebait.
Since you're being pedantic, I figured I may as well point out the spelling error in your post! Grammar. ;)
other countries are full of hackers

Or it just means that Windows will look the same.
